STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the ignition switch is turned to the “START”
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding
coils provided inside magnetic switch, attracting
the plunger. When the plunger is attracted, the
lever connected to the plunger is actuated to
engage the starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn
on the magnetic switch, allowing the B terminaland M terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is returned to the “ON”
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch
is disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the
pinion and the armature shaft, to prevent damage
to the starter.

DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AA"MAGNETIC SWITCH REMOVAL
Disconnect field coil wire from “M” terminal of magnetic switch.
AB"ARMATURE/BALL REMOVAL
Caution
When removing the armature, take care not to lose the
ball (which is used as a bearing) in the armature end.
AC"SNAP RING/STOP RING REMOVAL
1. Press stop ring off snap ring with a suitable socket.
2. Remove snap ring with snap ring pliers and then remove
stop ring and overrunning clutch.
STARTER MOTOR PARTS CLEANING
1. Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the
yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage
insulation. Wipe motor assembly with a cloth only.
2. Do not immerse drive unit in cleaning solvent. Overrunning
clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash
lubrication from clutch
3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened
with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

INSPECTION
COMMUTATOR CHECK
1. Place the armature in a pair of “V” blocks and check
the runout with a dial indicator.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm
2. Measure the commutator outer diameter.
Standard value: 29.4 mm
Limit: 28.8 mm
3. Check the undercut depth between segments.
Standard value: 0.5 mm
Limit: 0.2 mm
BRUSH HOLDER CHECK
Confirm that the spring is activated when the brush is pressed
into the brush holder by hand.
Replace the brush holder if the spring is not activated.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding clutch housing, rotate the pinion. Drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in opposite direction. If clutch does not function
properly, replace overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect pinion for wear or burrs. If pinion is worn or burred,
replace overrunning clutch assembly. If pinion is damaged,
also inspect ring gear for wear or burrs.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect bushing for wear or burrs. If bushing is worn or burred,
replace front bracket assembly or rear bracket assembly.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
1. Check the surface contacting the commutator for
roughness and the brush length.
Limit value: 7.0 mm
2. If the limit is exceeded, replace the brush holder.
ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE COIL SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will cause
blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE COIL EARTH TEST
Check the insulation between each commutator segment and
armature coil core.
If there is no continuity, the insulation is in order.
